    Fresh fruit is a good idea. I was trying to think of a few simple little items I could suggest that would be gluten-free and would not require any preparation. Unfortunately, we don't have any gluten-free bakeries around here, so cake is out of the question unless I make it.

    Awkward situations coming up. I have friends who want to host bridal showers for me in the next couple of months. What do I tell them about food? I don't want them to try to make gluten-free food, but they're not going to be happy saying that they'll just feed everyone else and not me. I am pretty sensitive and have gotten sick from using mutual spoons/pans...

    I am looking into birth control methods preparing to get married in a few months and need some help. This is a little embarrassing but I was wondering if anyone could tell me about: -gluten-free hormonal birth control -gluten-free condom use -gluten-free lube -gluten-free spermicide Does anyone have any info on this? I can't seem to find much.

    Does an intolerance manifest itself in the same way that Celiac disease does? Also does it cause the same problems to intestines as Celiac disease? I didn't realize that about other genes. This tested for DQ2 and DQ8. The reason I was looking for genetic results was to get an idea of the severity of the disease and my likelihood to pass it down to children...

    I thought for sure I had Celiac disease. I was showing all the symptoms of it. I started eating gluten-free and my symptoms cleared up when I did. If I accidentally got it, it would make me sick. My sister had the same problem and also went gluten-free. She is feeling much better now. But after six months of eating gluten-free, I finally had a genetic test...

    Yes, again, on the Kinnikinnick S'moreables! They are wonderful! I was giddy when I made s'mores a couple of weeks ago.

    I may be the only one on this forum from Central Arkansas, but just in case I thought I'd mention that U.S. Pizza is now advertising gluten-free pizza at all their locations. I had a pepperoni pizza at one of the locations this weekend and it went great. It felt so nice to sit down and order pizza like a normal person! The staff seemed to be familiar with...

    I take Enzymatic Therapy's Pearls because of the delayed release (made to release in the intestine). I have had the best results with the Intensive Care Pearls. They make a huge difference!

    Where are you from? In some places, the public is more aware of Celiac than in others. Usually around here, if I mention gluten or Celiac people look at me like I am speaking a foreign language. I think it's great that you are around so many people that are familiar with the disease, but that is not the case for everyone.

    Jason, I wish I could give you a hug. I know it can be so discouraging sometimes when you feel like your intolerance will have such a profound effect on the lives of those you care about deeply. When my boyfriend and I started dating, the only sensitivity I knew I had was wheat. However, after symptoms kept on I found out that I had Celiac while we were...

    I got this from them: I have had the Cinnamon Dolce there a couple of times and it made me very nauseated. I asked about the ingredients in that and it seemed like it should be fine, however, so I'm not sure what caused the problem. But everything else I've had has been fine. I go there pretty often.

    Can you tell me what those apps are?

    Another thing I'd add is that McCormick lists all gluten on their seasonings. I have gotten about four meat seasonings from them that I keep in my cabinet and use to flavor my meat. As far as restaurants are concerned, Outback Steakhouse, Carabbas, and Bonefish are a few chains that provide gluten-free menus that are considered extremely safe. Outback...

    I do that, and I take a black marker and mark my products with "gluten-free," which at my house is roughly translated, "Don't stick anything but a 100% clean metal utensil in me or incur my WRATH." I also only use metal utensils and I bought a new pizza stone which is not allowed to use by anyone else. Land O'Frost lunchmeats are safe, except...

    Funny.

    My first period, a couple of weeks after going gluten-free, I actually didn't have any cramps. It was a little different in other ways, though. I had barely any flow for the first couple of days and then a moderately heavy flow following.

    P.F. Chang's has been my best experience. Do you have a Macaroni Grill near you? I've had good experiences with them, as well.

    So my boyfriend has been dying to show me that he can make me a safe gluten-free meal. We spent over an hour at Wal-Mart last night reading labels. We love eating grilled meat, but I was having the hardest time finding any that I knew were safe. All the fresh steaks and such said that they contained broth. I don't know if that's safe or not. I literally couldn...

    I had it last night and loved it. The texture is AWESOME. Good for Starbucks. The only thing is I wish there had been more flavor. But then my tastebuds love very bold flavors, so that is probably why. My boyfriend even liked it, and he claims a lot of my gluten-free treats are nasty.

    I follow Ingrid Michaelson's Twitter, and the other day she posted, "Why does everything delicious have to have gluten in it." I assume she must have Celiac.

    I don't have a recipe, but I had one made from a really good mix last year for my birthday. I'll take a look when I go to the health food store today to see what brand it was. It was delicious and very moist...not grainy at all. I understand your dilemma. I will probably be getting married before too long and am already worried about what I'm going to...

    That is a great benefit!

    I consulted today with the nurse/nutritionist that clued me in on gluten intolerances years ago and she suggested that I do the Master Cleanse. Has anyone ever tried it? Did you get good results? Open Original Shared Link

    Can a PCP do a HLA Typing?
  25. latteda
    Thanks. I tried emailing them but haven't heard back yet. It was the only thing I had eaten that I thought could be a problem. There was some Krazy Mixed Up Salt and olive oil on the chicken. From what I could tell from my research, the Krazy Mixed Up Salt is gluten-free. I also had green beans with safe margarine, real mashed potatoes with margarine and...
